Our Common Threads

Our communities are inextricably linked. Our future is shared. As Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” Recognizing those connections is a first step. Our challenge is to forge those connections into structures for cooperation.
